Problem: Oops in linux-2.6.34.3 radeon at xserver start
From: Berthold Cogel
Date: Sun Sep 12 2010 - 14:39:28 EST
X-Server fails to start with vanilla kernel linux-2.6.34.3 and newer
versions (tested up to 2.6.35.4). All kernels build starting with
configuration of working linux-2.6.34.2. System is Debian stable/testing
with xorg 7.5.
Xorg.0.log shows
...
